Hicks: Journey to play Mitt Romney fundraiser

Journey is accepting $500,000 to play a campaign event for Mitt Romney, according to TMZ.

The event is Thursday night at a private fundraising party in Tampa while the Republican National Convention is in town. The American Action Network said it contibuted the half million to secure the 90-minute set.

TMZ quoted sources as insisting Journey is not endorsing Romney or making a political statement by accepting the offer, and the fundraiser is just another gig.
